I LAS Pipeline (Continued from pg.1) Lemmond's executive assistant Lisa Baker said that the senator also supports using the pipeline instead of well water full time. Concerned that water usage from the prison would cause neigh- boring wells to run dry, the advi- sory committee has lobbied to have the pipeline built for the past two years. The prison normally uses about 350,000 gallons of water a day. With conservation measures being taken such as having in- mates shower every other day, the water use has dropped to about 260,000 gallons a day. The decision on whether to use the prison's three wells or the pipeline as the primary source of water will be made by the Commis- sioner of the Department of Cor- rections, said prison superinten- dent John Stepanik. Stepanik said that the Commis- sioner will have input from the Department of Agriculture as well as others. Early reports from the prison were that the pipeline would merely be a backup source of water in case of drought, while the prison would still rely on the wells as the primary source of water. As for himself, Stepanik said that he has not decided yet which plan he supports. Construction of the $700,000 pipeline began in January and is scheduled to be completed August 1. Stepanik said that the prison's hydrologic studies show that its three wells — 420, 500 and 360 feet deep — tap into fast moving underground aquifers which are replenished quickly. “The prison did stop using a fourth well, however, when it stopped prdducing sufficient wa- ter, Stepanik said.

At their work session April 6, the Dallas school directors dis- cussed what might be done about the pitted tennis courts. The school's tennis teams play and practice at Newberry Estates be- cause of the school's courts are in such poor shape. District superintendent Gerald Wycallis said that an estimate of the cost for repaving the four courts last year was $16,000. The dilemma is that the present courts, next to the Middle School, FER RL are over ground with poor drain- age, so any repairs done to them could be quickly ruined by up- heavals in the ground, said Wye¢ak- lis. £9 Building entirely new courts’ is expensive, estimated at $35,000 to $40,000 for each court lastyear, according to Wycallis. Mah School board member Clarence; Michael appealed to the commu- nity, hoping that a fund-raiser might be devised to fix the courts. “Hopefully, somebody in the public may be interested,” said Michael.
